Quicksilver.

There are ,nly four localities where
mercury or quicksilver is found in abund-
ance. Thes are California, AustrisaAl.
MAIDEN. in Spain, and Peru. The mines
in this latter nlare we're discovered in a
very curious manner. Cinnahar, the soft
and reddish rock OF which mercury forms
part. when ground very fine serves as q
beautiful red paint. The Indians use
this to adorn their bodies. This caused
the country where they were living to be
examined for cinnabar. The Romans had
used it for hundreds OF years in the decor
alton OF their images. II is OF great value
now, in our times, and we call it YER
million. The other part Of the rock is
composed partly OF sulphur. The CHINA.
bar IL crushed and exposed to heat. In
the meantime, mercury in form Of vapor
passes into a vessel framed for this pur-
pose, where it cools. After being reduced
to the liquid state it is pure, and is in
condition TO use. In this form 1t is used
largely to separate the metal from the
rocks to which they adhere. The rock
having been well crushed the material is
passed through a screen, and is washed 10
Obtain all the gold and silver possible.
Quicksilver Is then placed in it, which ap-
pears TO be absorbed at once, and as it
takes up or moves with the metal in the
ore, this metal is separated from the sand
or crushed rock. Ii gold is the metal to
be amalgamated, a yellowish white ANAL
gam will be found. This Is heated in re-
torts, and the mercury or quicksilver
disappears, leaving the gold. Although
mercury is 30 useful in many ways, it is
also poisonous, it's vapor being dangerous
to inhale. II is not many years since the
mines in Austria took fire, poisoning
thirteen hundred laborers. many Of whom
eventually died. Even the water used to
extinguish the flames, and which passed
into river a short distance from the
mines, killed the fish. The mercury IL
transported in some countries in sacks
made Of dressed sheepskins, bnt il mainly
carried in cast-iron fasks.-MechanicaI

A farmer near Hudson, Mich, got his
wife to help him lower his moving ma
chine from the barn loft, where 1t had
been stored. He fastened rope to it,
and passing IL over a pulley asked his
wife to hold the end until he descended.
She had just taken hitch With the rope
around her waist when the mower crushed
down to the floor and simultaneously she
shot up where the mud-wasps do, their
nest hiding. There has been only one
subject OF conversation in that family
since, and she has done all the talking.

The Tucson Star makes rather broad
assertion in the following, to which we
call the attention Of our popular Distric:
Attorney: "No steps have yet been
taken to enforce the gambling license law
as it is laid down In the statute books. 1t
appears quite plain that all players as
well as dealers must pay license. and a
failure to do 30 makes them liable to fine
and imprisonment. II such Is the law,
and such it seems to be, the county is en-.
titled to the license revenue TO be collected

praise for the Prohibitionists, while heap

The Prospector had a clipping in the
last issue from the MoHAvE MINER, in
relation to the decision Of Judge Easton
in regard to Governor Znhck's quarantine
proclamation, in which it stated that an
ordinary Justice Of the Peace had set
aside Zoos order. Judge Easton wants
it distinctly understood that bis decision
was not an ordinary one, but was an ex-
traordinary one, and that he defies any
court in the land to decide different under
the Constitution OF these United States.

The Reno Gazette says the site OF the
old Con. Virginia mill is to be used hence
forth as dump for waste rock, the mill
having been torn down and removed
elsewhere. Perhaps there is not another
mill in the world that has turned into the
Golfers of commerce 80 many dollars as
this one has. From beneath its stamps
Mackay picked up, il is said, $50 ,o0o, 900,
and Fair, Flood and O'Brien each nearly
as much: hundreds OF others were made
enormously rich, and thousands OF miners
and employees have received excellent
wages for number Of years. Now the
mill is pulled down and the site used for a
waste dump. "T" what base uses DO we

General speaking. the japanese men
make kind and atfectionate husbands,
amt the women make virtuous and ex-
elnpIarX wives and mothers; and the
children are certainly the manifest
little llnps III the world; their parents
fondle and spoil them most ctfectualIN.
and at the same time never lose their
control over them. Ihe n~on-irritat-
Ilg nature of the native diet has much
10 do with such serene nerve, and tenn
pcTalncnts. One never sees 4 child
whipped in Japan; a reproging mother
may administer "A mild slap over the
head, which correction invariably
brings the little recalcitrant> to order.
The husband has absolute control over
the person Of his wife: at the same
tlilc, one never sees a man strike a
woman IN Japan; Yet there is CON
siderable plnching and >lapping done
on occasions when those straurctani
uhgoNornable spells of tNH>pcratinr
n@hhe>> known a. tantrums settle
down upon their matrimonial horizon.
On these occasions there is consider
able free hitting, biting and scratch
lng lndulged in on both sides Of the
house; but the greater strength Of the
husband invariably leaves him master
of the situation, and the hellioercnt
household speedily rtSumes its serene
ana happy course On such occasions,
unless physical force was rc~Qrtcd to-.
Ii would be difficult to say where
matters would end; for the women are
very childish, and in their paroNysms
of fury might speedily demoIish the
household, unless restrained. These
family jars are not of frequent occur
renee, but they make up in intensity
Tor their rarity.-Brooblyn Naga@jne.
